Heavy-Duty Rail Transfer Carts for Shipbuilding Industry

A large shipbuilding company in Zhejiang faced challenges with low efficiency and safety risks during the transfer of steel plates in the hull construction process. The traditional crane transfer method was not only limited by site constraints but also unable to meet the weight requirements for transporting several-ton hull steel plate sections, significantly impacting the shipbuilding cycle. To address this issue, the company contacted us to find a suitable Heavy-Duty Rail Transfer Cart for workshop transportation.

To resolve this pain point, we introduced our Transfer Cart It is customized to the shipyard workshop layout and the dimensions of the hull sections. The cart includes a load-bearing platform measuring 8 meters in length and 4 meters in width, equipped with a powerful drive system to ensure smooth and efficient steel plate transportation. To withstand the shipyard's dusty and high-humidity environment, the cart's surface is coated with a special anti-corrosion layer, and all components are sealed. The electrical system has an IP65 protection rating.

In terms of safety, the Rail Transfer Cartintegrates multiple protection mechanisms: infrared sensors monitor obstacles on the path in real time and trigger emergency braking; load-bearing sensors display the weight in real time to prevent overload operation; and sound and light alarms coupled with a remote control system enable forward, backward, start, and stop operations within a 50-meter range.

After deployment, the customized transfer cart improved hull steel plate transfer efficiency by 30%, reducing single transfer time from 3 hours to just 40 minutes, with no safety incidents reported. This Electric Transfer Cart has become a reliable solution, enhancing both efficiency and safety in the customer's shipbuilding operations.
